Prince's "Rock & Roll Love Affair" Single Artwork Revealed. In Stores November 22 Edmonton, AB - 
"hush nubbits" ! REAL MUSIC by REAL MUSICIANS - Prince "I kind of wish there was a reason for Prince to make the site crash more" ~~ Ben |
Cool. First.
|
Cooler than a polar bears toenails. You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat Ain't it hard when you discover that He really wasn't where it's at After he took from you everything he could steal. This is yo conscience muthafucka |
Cool! I like it. I'm glad he changed the Purple Rain font. Fellow purple souls UNITE! |
So, Prince is going back to the old-fashioned ways of distributing his stuff in record stores, then!!!
Hes discovered that newspaper deals dont work!!! |
Without the link....
|
I wish he'd release his new songs on iTunes here in the US. I'm all for physical CDs but also like to download songs so I can listen to them right away. Would love to hear the remixes! "Just like the sun, the Rainbow Children rise."
"People call me rude. I wish we all were nude. I wish there was no black or white, I wish there were no rules." |
I'm really glad he is sticking with physical formats. Now all I need is a new album... Fellow purple souls UNITE! |
Whatever happened to that good ol' tradition of having an extra song as a b-side? That's something I really miss. Them ain't bear tracks. Them's 'gator tracks. |
SuperSoulFighter said:Whatever happened to that good ol' tradition of having an extra song as a b-side? That's something I really miss. :yeahthat: Still, I'm looking fwd to this release. PaisleyRose was here  |
Adding this to the Christmas list  From the vineyards of Lavaux back 2 the heart of Minnesota. U R was, and will 4ever B The Purple Yoda.... |
I'd be more psyched if it had a proper b-side, but it's a step in the right direction to have a CD release with remixes. |
Not feeling this song not one bit BUT, I'm getting the cd just because...... "A Man Can't Ride Your Back Unless It's Bent" MLK 4/3/68 |
Was the version that was released on September 17 the Original Version or the Radio Version? |
Cool - i knew that Purple Rain font was some fans photoshop work.
Too bad it doesnt come with a real b-side but mixes are nice. However not a huge fan of this guy that also did the Dance4Me remixes...they're pretty dull |
In stores OVERSEAS, not in the USA.
Correct? |
right. confirmed are germany, austria, switzerland and BeNeLux. but i think uk, france and italy will see a release too... maybe
i preordered my cd today at german amazon:
http://www.amazon.de/Rock...amp;sr=1-1
|
the best thing with the single release:
is the cover pic.
Like I have said before,
this song from Prince is c-r-a-p.
(I might buy the cd, but then for the collector's reasons only). Prince... Release those re-mastered albums with bonus tracks NOW for Christ's sake. I don't wanna wait no more. It's better NOW than never! |
So the proper title is "Rock & Roll Love Affair", not the abbreviated form that had been circulating. Cool! Stand at the crossroads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths...(Jeremiah 6:16) www.ancientfaithradio.com

Make that "Rock And Roll Love Affair" Stand at the crossroads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths...(Jeremiah 6:16) www.ancientfaithradio.com
dezinonac eb lliw noitulove ehT |
So Am I to understand that there will be no US release and no digitial release?
|
indeed, a non album bside plus a 12" version of the a side would have been cool.
you know, like the singles he used to release and which we snapped up, eagerly
i'll probably pick up a copy though, since it will be available over here and it will be nice to hold a physical prince release for the first time since 20Ten, i guess.
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps |
Its a "MasterPiece" cover!!! "Basically  think of  like a "Act of God" n another realm. mean of all the people who might b aliens or angels..if we found out that was not of this earth, would not b that surprise." 'BOOTLEGZ4DAYZ' = 3rd Girl="MASTERPIECE" |
Very nice! Well done!  |
The last b-sides I remember were crap (United States of Division for example). I'd prefer the official promo-video on that disc instead of a b-side. |
Would have been a very good campaign song...... "Basically think of like a "Act of God" n another realm. mean of all the people who might b aliens or angels..if we found out that was not of this earth, would not b that surprise." 'BOOTLEGZ4DAYZ' = 3rd Girl="MASTERPIECE" |
The chorus is just awkward. Imagine thousands of people chanting "duuududududuuduuu". |
Pre-order + comment from the label received here in France for the single!

and why exactly are you still here? |
so this is the last single part of the purple music deal? remember reading a while back he had signed a deal for 3 releases.
first was Dance 4 me then bria valente's song now this
Maybe he's putting this out to complete the deal? Or maybe it could be included in a soon to come album.. Whatever the case is, glad we won't get more songs remixed by Lewis after this. |
No, it's about resurrection... |

Imma have to stop calling Allen Iverson "sexy mouth" and give that to Prince! Hello! |
It's funny how people can say this man's career is over and he still sell out shows like pancakes getting sold at a local IHOP. The song is not great but it's ten times better then the shit that is playing on the radio these days. Prince's career is not over I would love for him to go back to the old raunchy Prince but it's not gonna happen. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but he is a different man and either you accept it or you don't because at the end of the day while a number of you who makes these absurd comments about Prince's career going down the toilet... He is still gonna create music while you're making the donuts at your local Dunkin Donuts or ringing up someone's grocery's at your local Whole Foods. Stop with the negativity it's been and has been getting tired |
Can someone explain why the US is getting snubbed for this release? Or maybe we are not and they just haven't announced the US release yet. 1983-2013 |
Damn |
Becuz Prince knows he is not appreciated over here anymore in the US. That is why his last "MasterPiece" 20T3N was released overseas via The Mail...Wise move Princey!!! "Basically think of like a "Act of God" n another realm. mean of all the people who might b aliens or angels..if we found out that was not of this earth, would not b that surprise."

There's nothing wrong with anyone "making donuts at Dunkin Donuts, or ringing up someone's groceries at Whole Foods". Stop with the putting down of others. You can make your point without doing that. |
Oh, I think, therefore, I am.
At least, I think I am..... I'm not too sure. |

Totally amazing if there was a surprise album. Especially because the 22nd is my Birthday!!
I question the release date because November 22nd is Thanksgiving day
ThankUPrince! |

I like this song, its one of Prince better ones in the 00's B) |

http://www.radiocharts.co...stream.htm
i hope that rnrla works well here. maybe this leads to an album - i pray for it!! |
KCOOLMUZIQ can you please provide a source or a link or something to back-up your claim that "there is" a new album coming?

 Purple Music will release the Offical Single "Rock And Roll Love Affair" on November 26th on a picture disc, 12" inch vinyl and CD single. 1. Rock And Roll Love Affair (Radio Edit) 2. Rock And Roll Love Affair (Original extended mix) 3. Rock And Roll Love Affair (Jamie Lewis Club Mix) 4. Rock And Roll Love Affair (Jamie Lewis Stripped Down Mix) 5. Rock And Roll Love Affair (Jamie Lewis Club Radio edit) 6. Rock And Roll Love Affair (J. Lewis Stripped down Radio edit) Source This makes 2 years since the last Prince album came out and we are very pleased to present his new single "Rock & Roll Roll Love Affair", a catchy pop song with a pinch of country & soul which is already a classic. "Rock & Roll Love Affair" is a preview of the next album. Presented exclusively at various American radio stations a few weeks ago during the "Welcome 2 America" tour, the song immediately reached the number 24 on Billboard! The broadcast of this title in Europe had a direct effect and it is top in several different countries over seas now. He played this song live on the Jimmy Kimmel show with a new NPG line-up introducing an horn section with 11 members, a spectacular performance!

'BOOTLEGZ4DAYZ' = 3rd Girl="MASTERPIECE" |
yes and the album will most likely be released by purple music in the spring but I hold my thumbs 4 december |
Is the name of the new album " That would give you a purple stiffy wouldn't it KCOOL?

Any word on a digital download release? Realized quite some time ago that I don't need a physical copy of a single with a bunch of remixes that I'll never listen to. In it for the radio and extended mixes, and I probably haven't even popped a cd in in about 6 years other than to rip it to iTunes. Singles are clutter. |
No, it's about resurrection... |
Has anybody heard this in the UK yet? |

Beautiful cover artwork,
It hurts. To know the content sucks so much.. Prince... Release those re-mastered albums with bonus tracks NOW for Christ's sake. I don't wanna wait no more. It's better NOW than never! |
I don't really get his persistence in putting out physcical copies without making a digital version available, it's only costing him more $ in the long run. I guess he's as nostalgic as some of his fans. But really, if he wants to make $, he needs to put it out in a digital format, it just doesn't make any sense not too. It would be better if he puts it out than let the bottleggers do it, he'll only make $ one way.
Kudos to Prince though for the release. I'm surprised though that he's putting so much effort into a somewhat mediocre (mediocre for Prince) song. I like the song, but I'm not blown away by it. |

trickster said: Chill my friend!! Nobody says that there wont Be a Digital Release! This threat is just about the cd and Vinyl Release !! There will Be a Release on iTunes and Co too !! Says who? In every official statement about the release, mention of a digital release has been noticeably absent. |
Nosajd, do you really expect some of us with several hundred pounds worth of audio equipment to be happy with a 192mb digital copy? Do you have any idea how poor mp3's sound through quo uh quality gear? Excuse my typing. Never buy my phone  |
Is it me or does this track suck donkey balls? And why do I feel compelled to buy it anyway? I'm not stopping. I haven't even taken my coat off
C'mon and dance while you, while you still have your cherry babe, cherry babe.. www.KerrysCakes.org.uk |
Ever since the first Purple Music release I feel the urge to stalk and maim Jamie Lewis. Everything that is shit about electronica is wrapped within that man. To think that he shares the same genre as DJ Shadow. It's like going to play classic Stevie Wonder and hearing the Spice Girls.
Jamie if you're reading this, do us and the world a favour. Jump from a bridge or go back to whatever it was you were doing before someone showed you a set of decks. And never, ever touch a Prince record again. You are a shame, on a cellular level, to the music that he has created. |
The stripped down mix isn't to bad actually, Quite good keeping the guitars and vocals.
I'm not a massive fan of the remixes but I have to say that I'll be playing them for a bit
|
I guess not. I just don't really care about cd's anymore. They scratch too easy & they're way overpriced. They're very much outdated in my opinion. I'm not fixated on that level of sound quality. The song is either good or it isn't. No matter the sound quality, you can't poilish a terd. |
The song is terrible. |
No, but you can polish a pooh, buff a brownie and shine a shite. You can also encase one in lacquer. I know because I've seen one. |
So ~~~~ This song is being released in the U.S on November 22nd??? THANKGIVING DAY???? I have never heard of that.. ?? I wonder if and when it will actually come out.... |
Since Rock and Roll Love Affair is to be released on Thursday, does that mean we can expect to see the video out that day too? Perhaps even a preview in the next few days from Dr Funk or even Andy, or would that be too confusing with her album also being released at that time??
p.s LOVE the vinyl pic!!! [Edited 11/18/12 3:15am] |
I dont know why people on this site are so ready to give his majesty so much stick everytime he releases something new or slightly different.Rock N Roll love Affair grew on me after a few listens and count me in for a pre-order for it's 22nd november release with all the mixes.i'm only annoyed that i can't get an MP3 or M4A download or better still an entire album bolted onto the song instead of just a load of remixes.I hate house music and wish there was a techno version but thats my only critisicms.Why a physical format only anyway???people can still convert it into mp3's and pass it around torrents anyway.you have to compete with those dishonest or you will make no money.the old ways of releasing music are just that...OLD. |
It's a crap song. For the first time, I'm thinking of not buying a Prince album. Hold on to your... |
GFY Ya little almond shaped head ass. Who the fuck u think this is? I'll kick yo ass. Twice! |
This song makes my teeth hurt. Prince should just stop. |
|
It really is a great song and many people and friends of mine like it a lot...it is more the pop and country side of him, nothing groundbreaking, but it stucks in the head... |
No, not at all. Because it doesn't have a strong melody. Good pop songs have a great melodies. Prince once was a master creator of great melodies. This song isn't catchy at all. |
Radio 2 played it today, couldn't believe it. sounded great. so hope it gets more plays.
She Believed in Fairytales and Princes, He Believed the voices coming from his stereo

So it is released in the UK next Monday, but a cd single priced £8.11? I don't remember seeing a single that wasn't an import at that price, I wonder if it is limited edition? But even so...
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rock-Roll-Love-Affair-Prince/dp/B00A0L7PE8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1353358655&sr=8-1
|
I've bought the picture disc from ebay for fifteen quid. Free postage. Not a bargain but the odds of walking into town and picking it up are slim if not nill. |
See, told you Radio 2 would play it. The station for old fuckers like me. It's a middle of the road AOR song for middle of the road AOR people. Radio 2 is not young, is not fashionable and does not play anything that courts any controversy or challenges in any way. I knew from the start that this would be the perfect station for Love Affair. Day time listening of course. It's the kind of song my mum would hum. She's seventy. |
V
Yes, I know, I have just ordered from HMV who are saelling it at £15.00 with free postage, they also have the CD for £10.00.
However, I have been here before only for singles to be cancelled on release dates.
I suppose this pricing means we don't have to speculate about a chart placing. |
here the video |
Ok.. so today is November 22nd.. (Happy Thanksgiving by the way) has any one walked in to the store (when they open tonight) and got a copy of this in the U.S?????? I can't beleive a single would come out on a Thursday.. and on Thanksgiving to boot. IF you find a store selling them.. Please list the stores name. Thanks. |
just in europe - in germany nearly everywhere!! |
ahhh THE VIDEO IS COOLER then i tought! its on ... to |
It's not too bad. It's about the story, not the song. And the lyrics are a lot better than many of his songs. I like the video, too. |
Yep, it's just about the story. He's just announcing he finally settled down and married somebody normal. It's good for him, and good to see he touched down to earth, but with him touching down the earth, I guess the distant magic disappeared. In other words this is what stars collide.
I hope he'll continue making good music, cause for now Prince may have found peace but he is finally over as well. I know he doesn't care, and if he doesn't why would anybody care?
But your observations are correct NDRU.
I NICKED orger SuperFurryAnimal's big ass bird!  |
and on the A playlist as of next monday on Radio 2, we will hear it alot more yay!

Ok.. am I missing something??? Prince MARRIED some one??? Who?? Or are you guys saying that in the VIDEO he got married? I have not been able to make the video play.. so I have NO idea what you guys are seeing... And I thought the US release was the 22nd. when is it gonna be released for us??? Why does he always release things over sea's???? I'm confussed.. LOL |
Well, whatever Prince has gone through in his personal life, I can't say it's helped his output. This is one of the most tragically boring, forgettable songs I have ever heard from him. The trajectory for Prince has gone from groundbreaking and amazing in the 80's to increasingly offensively bad in the 90's to increasingly dull in the 00's. This song is a continuation of that, sadly. Each time I listen to it, I immediately forget it ten seconds after it's over. How sad is it that when you hear a new Prince album these days, you find yourself bored immediately afterward and asking when the next album will be out? The genius has left the building, and he doesn't seem to be coming back. The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.
"You still wanna take me to prison...just because I won't trade humanity for patriotism." |

"Rich Friends", "Cause And Effect", "Purple and Gold", "Everybody Loves Me" are all worse songs than Rock N Roll Love Affair. Rock N Roll Love Affair has musicality, which is something the aforementioned songs lacked. What is overlooked about the new song is that Prince is using a more restrained voice. It's good not to hear him sing in falsetto or use stale drum machine beats that are dated. The music is midwestern and the music is him going to back to his roots. The sound is not that far removed from DIRTY MIND as far as the timbre of the music itself. I liked the analog sound of the drums, electric bass, synths and horn backgrounds. 3121 #1 THIS YEAR |
What the song is lacking is any kind of personality. It's the kind of song an old band of grandfathers would perform at a wedding. The song is so dull, it's impossible for me to even hate it. It's so restrained that there is just nothing here.
The last Prince song that sounded interesting was Future Soul Song, but IIRC that was written during the Emancipation era.

[Edited 11/22/12 23:56pm] Restrained is the right word. I wouldn't liken it to a grandpa song because those songs have hooks and choruses. Prince knows what a chorus is, for some reason he didn't use one here. This song will never be my favorite, but I agree with you that there's nothing to hate. And, in fact, I think I could even like it. |
I like it, laid back and chill. Never ceases to amaze me the diversity of music Prince makes. |
Well I really enjoy this song, its simple and easy going. Im surprised about all the negative comments here about this song cuz its really not that bad. Its way better than anything on 20ten 4 instance |
Where can you buy this in the US? |
Also, people keep saying that the song is about the story? Okay, that's fine, but in that case you need especially good lyrics. The Ballad of Dorothy Parker is more about the story than the music, but it has some of his subtlest, most likeable and deceptively simple lyrics.
What depth is there here?
this kind of love don't come from a prayer ain't talking rebound, born of despair yellow sun rising on their bodies in bed two people in love with nothing but the road ahead
These lyrics typify today's Prince and the simplistic turn he made after TRC. Gone are the double entendres, puzzling metaphors, or any trace of subtext found in his stronger, cleverer work. These lyrics lack all subtlety; the extent of their depth is so limited, you extract all there is the first time 'round. The meaning is simply what it appears to be; nothing more.
Compare that with Dorothy Parker: Well, I ordered, "Yeah, let me get a fruit cocktail, I ain't too hungry" Dorothy laughed She said, "Sound like a real man to me You kinda cute, you wanna take a bath? Do you wanna, do you wanna? Bath"
I said, "Cool, I'm leavin' my pants on", "What you say?" "'Cuz I'm kinda goin' with someone" She said, "Sound like a real man to me The juxtaposition of mockery in the original remark of "Sound like a real man to me" with the turn toward sincerity in its repetition is the kind of depth Prince used to be great at conveying.

little red corevette always sounds sad to me. the saddest. to me this is the flip side, very restrained, but exactly same tone as little red corvette. sad and who knows (what is the out come of this descion).
young and move out west pay dues to see what is out there a new couple who knows what the future holds in this 'love'
if you get little red corvette then i dont need to explain
its sad and scary and sad and possibly optomistic
why i like it
To make a thief, make an owner; to create crime, create laws. |
Got the 6tr release! The rain will come down, then U will have 2 choose. If U believe, look 2 the dawn and U shall never lose. |

You know EXACTLY how I'm feeling then.. What is your main problem?
To whom it may concern: I love you! Humankind..be both. |
If this is the SINGLE from an upcoming album, I'm going to have to buy some better earplugs. I usually hate all the negativity on this site, but in this case, I think it's needed. We know you can do better, Prince. What is your main problem?
To whom it may concern: I love you! Humankind..be both. |
I think his story/lyrics in "Long Gone" (Andy Allo's song that he wrote) has more depth. There you can see that he is still capable of depth in his lyrics. I also think "Elixir" (Bria Valente's song that he wrote) has that sexual storytelling, double entendres and metaphors from days of yore. For some reason, he gives some of his strongest material to the weakest performers instead of doing them himself nowadays.

I still check in on Prince everyonce in a while, and I'll admit I'm not always pleased, but I'm forever indebted to him for introducing me to various types of different music , especially Orchestral music through Claire Fischer. As for the song-meh. But sometimes Prince surprises me. When I'm not looking forward to something I'm PLEASEANTLY surprised by an album and sometimes when I am looking forward to an album I'm dissapointed. And time seems to change my judgement. I loved Diamnonds & Pearls when it came out, but after a couple of years I couldn't be bothered. But I say each to his own. If you like it rock out. If you don't turn it off. C'mon, do you really think Prince cares what we think anyways? Besides, and I know we are not supposed to discuss this type of thing here, but I have...aquired music from "The Vault" and I think he's still sitting on some great stuff. We'll see if it sees the light of day. My friends think he's waiting untill the day when he's physically unable to produce music anymore. Wouldn't it be like Prince to do that? Noone would really care if it was old stuff and it would be Prince's way of saying SUCK ON THIS! |
They still have it, however importcds is out of stock. Amazon has a few for sale, so does ebay, but the ones on ebay are overpriced then @purplemusic.ch. Shipping is expensive, but you can cut this down by ordering more products (same cost though). They also have dance 4 me remixes, but you have to search around in order to find it. Some people can't understand, just being inside a church don't make a righteous man |
Having almost no update from amazon i've just had a dispatch confirmation from amazon. They're the cheapes at the mo, £8.11 compared to the £10.50ish from purplemusic She Believed in Fairytales and Princes, He Believed the voices coming from his stereo

Mine Shipped from Amazon.. from seller "marvelio".. $12.01 with shipping, I'm in the US.. so the price isn't too steep, the song, I'm starting to grow an attachment to, but I did hear the samples of the remix and not a fan of them, then again I wasn't a fan of the "Dance 4 Me" remixes either and I actually love the original version of that song. Hopefully I will physically have it in a few days.
Are the tracklistings the same for the 12" and picture disc.. not that it matters, since I dont have a record player.. but I Do see that you can buy the song and remixes in digital form from the site.
With reminds me, with Superconductor.. I bought digitally from Amazon when it came out.. and then when buying RRLA.. I saw Superconductor available on physical CD so I bought it not even thinking i got sold Twice on the album, but I dont care.. I really like Allo's CD.. and since I was on a spree, I added Larry Graham's new one to the cart and I was able to hear that one on Spotify and enjoyed it.. so.. should be an interesting visit from Fedex in a few days. It sure isn't like the good old days when we knew weeks ahead WHAT day a CD would be in a store.. Go to the store and its THERE (or call ahead and pre-order it) and bring it home.. I sure miss that part of buying a new CD.
And has anyone bought fDeluxe new release "Relit"... Wish I could sample that before buying.. I like Gaslight, but I'm not understanding Paul Peterson's fascination with the 100 different remixes, its like he's not happy with any of the original versions or something. |

Clearly been in a cave for the past 3 weeks. Only heard Prince's new song on Radio 2 last Friday and wondered when it was being released. D'oh!
Anyhoo, now I've re-connected with the Org, I now know its been in the public domain since the 22nd November. I have just purchased through HMV the CD single, 12" PD and 12" vinyl Single and am a proud £37.00 lighter! Ouch!
Still, for what its worth i really love the song. Happy to add it to my collection.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
